Donor-Conceived Couple Finds They’re Not Related and Fights for Access to Genetic Origins
A French man and woman, both conceived via sperm donation, fall in love and worry they could be half-siblings; after years of legal barriers around genetic tests in France, a doctor helps them confirm they are not related, and later home DNA testing reinforces the result. They go on to have three children and become advocates for donor-origin transparency, with Arthur publishing a book and the pair founding Origines to push for access to biological origins, including learning about their donors and potential family connections.
